#77656 mrdon59 (User) Zoom-Zoom Junior Boarder Posts: 175 *#? !# Broke a bolt 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   On my last ride, notice a little vibration rattle up front. After looking around, notice one of my Crash bar Bolts was backed out about an 1/8" out. Tried ever so gently tightning it up..... Dough!!!!! Broke it. I just got a few new Extraction bits.... I'm going to give it a try. Any tips on getting it out? Does any one know the size bolt for that Yami Big Bar Crashbar. The two right under the neck of the frame?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1512 Re:*#? !# Broke a bolt 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   First make sure your extractor set has REVERSE drill bits I have found that sometimes it will come out just with the drill bit. Second did you use any locktite when you put it on? if so you will need to heat it up BEFORE extracting it. Go SLOW and take your time.....you will get it!

Yes it appears there is dry Loctite on some of the threads. Don't have a torch or anything like that. So far have not been able to find a place that carrys Left hand drill bits. I did look for some.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1137 Re:*#? !# Broke a bolt 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Harbor Freight has both the bits and small torches. There's one on L'ville Hwy where Indian Trail intersects. Get it all for under $20.

Would a heat gun get hot enough?
